AFGS can provide you with a copy of your ancestor's headstone photo from our collection, without the AFGS Logo.
Please browse the AFGS
Headstone Collection to locate your French-Canadian ancestor's name.
There may be more than one photo for any headstone, if the headstone is engraved on multiple sides.
Any engraving made on a headstone after the photo was taken will not be included for obvious reasons.
To
Submit Your Headstone Photo Request, just download the
Mail-In Request Form and mail the completed form to AFGS.
With your photo request, please include the 'ID' number of the Cemetery and the 'ID' number of the Ancestor.
If your photo request also includes a microfilm 'lookup' or 'translation', each will be billed separately from the photo fees.
To request a microfilm 'lookup', please use our
Microfilm Services.
To request a record translation, please use our
Translation Services.
The 'headstone' service does not include research for lineages, pedigree charts or family group sheets. To request research, please use our
Research Services.
